Other audio forums will likely give you advice without all the drama. This forum has become more contentious over the years. Sadly, the reliable, experienced, thoughtful participants comprise less and less of the dialog.
The reason, I’m my opinion, is that this site is hosted by an entity that offers services to individuals and companies that wish to buy and/or sell audio gear. Getting rid of forum members is tricky for that reason. I get it.
Forums that are run and moderated by enthusiasts are more likely to purge troublesome forum participants. It’s a more conducive environment for a hobby. It’s enjoyable and fun.
I enjoy this forum and appreciate Audiogon hosting. Audiogon themselves are the subject of criticism at times, which is not cool in my book. It’s like whining because you didn’t like the free sample cocktail weenie you just bit into.
This whole tough love audio advice idea puzzles me. Since when did the hobby of stereos and related products become so rough and rugged?
It’s not uncommon to read posts where members are afraid to tell their spouse what they spend/spent on audio. Not exactly pirates….
Bottom line is, you can navigate these waters without all the storms. Use your patience wisely and have fun.
